My hand of thumbs is shaking

i am so glad to meet you

all tongue-tied and twisted

my lips stuck like glue

More than a lifetime to say, "how are you?"

more than an ocean to cross becalmed.

less than a second to sink in silence.

yours truly, i remain disarmed.

Saw you peeping from the corner.

your eyes seemed to call hello.

i'm all too easily mistaken,

my feet unsteady as they go.

Was i a suave and confident trickster

i would sweep you up and carry you down

to raspberry meadows under diamond skies

and just mess around.

just mess around.
